BlazerBlaze Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 So 10 minutes before the NFL draft, Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil's twitter account sends out a video him hitting a gas mask bong. This sent him down to the 13th pic, (losing about $6M from the 3rd pick). Then 10 minutes after he's drafted his instagram account sends out screenshots of him messaging an Ole Miss assistant AD asking for money to pay rent and his mom's power bill. And then he confirms this at the press conference afterwards. I can't even imagine the hell which the NCAA is about to try and sent Ole Miss too. Also, who's the ex-best friend who hacked him and leaked this information?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 1. According to dfwable, the allegations against Ole Miss were known and the school was aware that they were going to be slapped for it, so all he did was make it more public. 2. I don't consider it "Throwing them under the bus" at all - it's not the player's fault that they school broke the rules. The school takes that risk every time they decide to do these things. They're breaking rules and trusting a stupid 18-year-old kid (who is probably far less mature / educated than non-star-athlete 18-year-olds) to keep the secret. That's the school's dumb fault, not his. Just about anyone in that situation would take money that's being offered - they aren't the ones that stand to lose anything! 3. He's an idiot for even allowing that photo to be taken and for not deleting messages, but again he's a stupid kid - that's like being mad at a lion for eating a wildebeest. Blame the school, not the player. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Geoff Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 According to Deadspin, the Instagram posts went up as his was talking to Suzy Kolber on live TV. I think we would have noticed a kid posting to Instagram live in the middle of an interview. Someone clearly has his login credentials.

BlazerBlaze Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 I think it's a pretty clear situation of being thrown under the bus. It's one thing for a situation to be "known" but for a nationally televised admission in front of that many reporters isn't a causal brain fart.

Not sure what the difference is between something being "known" and "admitted to". He shouldn't have been put in the position to have to answer to all those questions (where was his agent? Where were the Dolphins PR people?) but rather than "no comment" (which he did try to do, by repeatedly saying "I'm just blessed", which sounded worse than "no comment") at least he owned it, which I guess is better than denying it. Again, keep in mind that he's just a dumb kid, and people that know better shouldn't have put him in that position.

The woman who said, "No more questions," after he answered works for Jimmy Sexton, Tunsil's agent. As for the cash, NCAA suspended him for seven games last season for improper benefits, namely he had the use of three loaner cars over a six-month period.

JayMac Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 There have been guys that have had issues that kept them waiting around longer in the first round. Warren Sapp comes to mind. Sure, they may not be the best character guys but Miami might have gotten a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that it's coming out that they were together when Nkemdiche smoked spice in Buckhead and tryed to defy gravity. Makes the statement from his agent last night saying "marijuana like substance". Seems like Ole Miss has a NCAA and a synthetic weed problem.

dfwabel Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Those text did come from Tunsil. http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/15518292/ole-miss-rebels-officials-confirm-laremy-tunsil-text-messages-checking-alterations Now, there are income funds available to assist poorer "student-athletes", but the school hasn't been that open. There is no money trail...yet. But Hugh Freeze has asked a Mississippi judge for special stipulations after being disposed for a civil case regarding Tunsil. http://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/ole-miss/2016/05/11/ole-miss-hugh-freeze-requests-restrictions-possible-deposition/84246580/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
